American Depositary Shares financial
"American Depositary Shares ("ADS"), each representing ten Series B shares"
American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.
beneficial owner financial
"ADO may be deemed, for U.S. federal securities law purposes, to be the beneficial owner of 67,261,970 Series B Shares"
A beneficial owner is the person who ultimately owns or controls a financial asset or property, even if their name isn't directly on official documents. Think of it like someone who secretly holds the keys to a safe deposit box—others may appear to have access, but the true owner is the one who benefits from what's inside. Identifying beneficial owners helps ensure transparency and prevent illegal activities like money laundering or fraud.
Series BB Shares financial
"22,950,000 Series BB Shares held by ITA, which may be converted by ITA"
Rule 13d-3 regulatory
"Percentage is calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act"
Rule 13d-3 defines who is treated as the beneficial owner of a company’s shares for U.S. securities disclosure rules — essentially anyone who has the power to vote or direct how shares are voted, or the power to buy or sell them, even if they don’t hold the certificates. For investors this matters because crossing certain ownership thresholds triggers public filing and disclosure obligations and signals potential control or influence, much like having the keys to a car implies you can drive it even if it’s registered to someone else.
pecuniary interest financial
"The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the Series BB Shares held by ITA, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein"
